How to sell vinyl from your catalog

samla.ai ·

The record has had a good run on your shelf. If it is ready for another home, the photos and pressing notes in your catalog give you a useful head start. The remaining job is to show a buyer exactly which copy they will receive.

Give the buyer the useful details

  • Confirmed release and pressing, with label and runout photos
  • Separate record and sleeve grades, including playback notes
  • Inserts, original inner sleeve and any visible defects

Choose a price and a destination

Vinyl records fanned across a wooden table next to a closed notebook, ready to be listed.

Compare recent sold items that match yours in edition, size and condition. Use the estimated value as a starting point, then decide your asking price with postage, marketplace fees and timing in mind.

Discogs can be useful for a precisely matched record release. eBay may also be available. Choose from the destinations shown for your item and country.

Read the draft before publishing

Open the item’s selling options and prepare a draft from the saved photos and details. Check the title, description, included accessories, price and delivery terms. Remove anything you cannot confirm. Connect the destination account when prompted, complete the required fields and review the listing before you publish.

Does generating ad text publish the listing?

No. Generating text prepares a draft. Publishing to a supported marketplace is a separate step after you review the details.
